When Should You Buy a New Boat?

Looking to purchase a new boat, but aren’t quite sure when to start? Then we have the perfect article for you! Below, we’ve written up a ton of helpful advice on the best and worst times to buy a boat. We’ve also listed a few tips to ensure you find the boat of your dreams when you do finally decide to step foot on the dealership lot.

Fall

If you’re looking for a great deal on a boat, then fall is the best time to start browsing! Because boat sales begin to dip during this season, dealerships are quick to begin offering various sales and promotions to keep customers coming in. As a result, it’s possible to find a model for an extremely discounted price throughout the fall season. 

Spring 

Want to get your hands on the best boat models the market has to offer? Then make sure to be on the sales floor by early spring. This is often when the latest and greatest boat models are first released onto the market, and you’ll need to be fast to grab one for yourself. Just to be safe, you might want to visit a little early—preferably sometime in the late winter season—to see if any of the models have arrived early or if your salesperson knows when exactly new models will start coming in. 

Boat Shows 

Boat shows are a great opportunity to take advantage of both discounted prices and the latest new boating technology. However, boat shows are seasonal, often arriving to town in the winter months, and only around for a very short period of time. If you want to take advantage of a boat show’s great deals, you’ll need to keep a close eye on event dates and be sure to prep beforehand.
